Accounting

 

We provide full bookkeeping/accounting services designed to fit your particular needs.

 

The basics of bookkeeping involves setting up a chart of accounts and then ensuring that each individual transaction is assigned to the proper account.  The six basic groups of accounts you need to be familiar with are assets, liabilities, equity, income, expense, and cost of goods sold.

 

In addition you need to know the definition of debit and credit and how they affect a particular account.  With this knowledge you should be able to accomplish basic bookkeeping tasks.

 

The field of accounting is more complex therefore it is usually a wise idea to delegate the task to a specialist who has the knowledge and expertise.  Therefore, we have designed a program that will accomplish your accounting needs yet remains cost efficient.

 

We begin by ensuring you financials are accurate as of January 1 of the current year assuming you are not on a fiscal year.

 

This is accomplished by inputting the data from last year's tax return into our accounting software. Then monthly data, from the current year, is entered and the checking account(s) are reconciled coming forward to the current date.  Once accomplished this method should provide you with accurate year-to-date financials.

 

At this time in the process, you now have a choice of maintaining the 'books' yourself or delegating the task to us which allows you to focus on other issues.  When making the decision you should pay particular attention to cost, accuracy, and the amount of time required to perform the task.  We will give you a quote so you can compare costs.

 

If you choose to perform the accounting activities yourself you must observe certain standards commonly known as GAAP.  In addition,  you should be familiar with the various financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, A/P & A/R Aging, etc.) and the accounts that comprise them.  Whatever your decision, we are available to assist you to ensure an accurate accounting system.
